autism advocates have a saying if you want to know about autism
ask an autistic person so
as we wrap bob autism awareness acceptance month I thought I'd do just that I asked two
young blocker as Phillip and enough about their autism their parents and quite a bit more
their answers are incredible and I am thrilled to share them with you meet Phillip Phillip age 12
is a proud boy with autism who types to communicate
living in silence until age nine Phillip at his breakthrough in communication by learning to
spell his thoughts on a liquor board through rapid prompting the fed RPM
he not types on and I pad and uses a voice output program to speak his words he is partially mainstreamed in the sixth grade
keeper to sip eights in Christian service brigade
a scouting group and soccer
he has many friends Phillip is an aspiring writer and has his own blonde faith
hope and love with autism
in which he shares his experiences and advocates for others like himself what is it like to be artistic being autistic is all I know
many times I like it
I appreciate nature and god
I have keen senses I am smart and enjoy a thinking about the world
many times autism is hard and a cave of loneliness
this is because we get isolated due to misunderstanding
lack of speech and difficulty with movement betray our intelligence and desire for heat
relationship I am doing much better now that I can communicate
people understand me know how have your parents helped you learn and grow
my parents help me by always believing in me and never giving up
having attentive parents helps me not be alone too much that I don't grow
my parents take action in finding ways that help me best
RPM has been my best panacea for my inability to communicate my thoughts
my mom works with me every day teaching
reading interesting books and allowing lots of time to practice writing and expressing myself
my parents make my life as normal as possible
I play with Pham we go bowling
play soccer and go to movies
I get together with friends
I have autistic friends I talked to I attend normal school
I go to church what would you like other parents to know about autistic kids
parents should know their child wants to be understood
he wants to be able to communicate with words but often can't he needs you to find a way because he can't do it without your love
and support it is frustrating to be misunderstood lots of wrong assumptions are made about people who don't speak
the make the presumption of competence instead
why would you change about the world if you could
I would make accommodations readily available to all people needing them
I think the world that is inclusive of all people is the best because we each have gifts to offer
any other writings or thoughts
people should never give up on finding a way for us to communicate what we really think and feel
watch videos of Phillips amazing progress through RPM me Ten Mana in the is a 13 year old girl with autism living in New York City she
is a public speaker and writer and she likes to sing on stage

or are in the process of finding
their individual voice as she has

are writing has been published on her blond in this whole book special parent magazine and
halos 2014 edition of voices she is also featured in the upcoming book
typed words loud voices what is it like to be artistic I know of no other way of being
so ask yourself what is it like being human
how have your parents help you learn and grow
my parents enjoy my company they believe in my abilities and encourage
teach and enthusiastically a plot by successes you remember cheering hard efforts with a grateful heart
what would you like other parents to know about their autistic kids
I cannot speak for other kids that being able to type what I really want to say has made all the difference
what would you change about the world if you could save our planet from man's disregard
and give humans more compassion for all living things
greatness almost always comes from acts of tremendous love
